BREWing

The maiden assignment given to me at my first job....my PM came over and said "soumya we got to start researching on bru"..... I was a fresher....but what the hell was "bru" ???...."ya..ok...." went my reply still recovering from the initial discomfiture....
I turned to my monitor .... opened www.google.com ... n slowly typed in bru...still unsure of what would appear....after a half hour ordeal and trying all possible permutations(brue, bru, brooo) that probably would help me in finding a "bru" SDK....I typed in Qualcomm bru.....bingo I had hit the nail....It was the BREW(Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) SDK.....brew eh??
Anyways still not too sure...I finally downloaded the SDK......now I have been working in BREW since the last 6 months....guess its as exciting as brewing a good pint of beer (though I havnt tried the latter!)
BREW is not known to many here in India.....in short it is a platform to develop mobile applications...can be programmed in C/C++/Java..but somehow I felt it is quite Cish....very exciting and gripping....the APIs give you freedom to program with quite some flexibility...
In my view its here to stay and will catch the wireless market..with 3G and CDMA being seen as the future of wireless technologies.....specially with the latest Brew SDK that offers many additional APIs....maybe after a while.....coz of limitations like... it being a proprietary of qualcomm..and very few developers working with it.....but if you wanna play around with the SDK ..which I feel will be worth the while....its available for free download on the Qualcomm site...
Here are some useful links...just in case....

Meanwhile I am trying my best to brew some good useful code.....

"Busy"

I call the it the "busy" fever...could be a fad.....which has gripped most of my batchmates(most of 'em like me tasting the bitter sweet task of earning their bread n butter since very recently)....including me for that matter... our lives have supposedly zeroed down to being busy.... the entire lot now claim themselves to be "busy" having time only for work(I am kinda disputed on this particular word!).....the term "busy".... has got itself on the first position of the list of our new found corporate jargon...as u might call it....
A patent reply to the question" Hi hows u?"...now by this Im expecting a fine.. a good....but what I eventually see in reply.... a single word "busy"....too bad I recall using "busy" as a reply myself not very long ago.....
Lately I do think twice before pinging anybody on my messenger.....lest I get "busy" as a reply!
As for me...since "busy" sounds too cliched....if I am really too bogged down by work....I find myself opting out of using "busy".....

this is my debut

Hi!
I finally managed to get myself a place at the blogspot...wonder what took me so long......but they say better late than never! took quite a bit of inspiration....but afterall why have a blog of your own...maybe its a longing desire to be heard....maybe i just have nothing much worthwhile to do......in fact i was questioned by my frnd on this sudden hookup with blogging... maybe its exhibitionism......
Its quite a dull afternoon today.....its friday...last day of the week finally....the day seems to be longer.....I guess I should get back to finishing the piece of leftover code I have been working on.....
Hopefully many more of my writings will see the light of the day....till then adios...
Heres wishing happy writing to me....n reading to u guys!
